My research interests are in the broad area of Mobile Computing and Network Security.
Currently my primary research interest is in security for wireless networks. More specifically, I am trying to build a holistic framework to secure ad hoc networks for my PhD dissertation, which factors in the components of misbehavior detection, trust management and policy management so that the network may be secured in a more adaptive and intelligent manner.
I am also interested in the following areas:
- Context awareness and its application (for example Healthcare application)
- Cyber-Physical System (CPS)
- Social Networks(CPS)
